I’ve been trying to get gyro working on my 8BitDo Ultimate 2 with the 2.4GHz dongle on Ubuntu (running in a Proxmox VM). Here’s where I’m at:

• Set up the correct udev rule ( 2dc8:310b ) with  TAG+="uaccess"  — hidraw permissions confirmed correct ( crw-rw----+ )

• Updated controller + dongle firmware via 8BitDo Ultimate Software on macOS

• Unloaded  xpad  module to rule out driver conflicts

• Manually unbound  hid-generic  driver from both HID device nodes

• Tried B+Home and Y+Home combos to boot into DInput/Switch mode — controller only connects via Home (XInput mode), no other combo works

• Set up a gyro→R stick hardware profile in the 8BitDo software as a fallback — doesn’t seem to work in Indiana Jones

8BitDo support just told me they don’t support Linux, so here I am. Has anyone gotten DInput mode working on this specific controller (or another 8bitdo model) with the 2.4GHz dongle? Is there something I’m missing with the mode combos, or is this a known hardware issue with certain units?

Running Ubuntu 24.04, Steam, Proxmox, USB passthrough.
Any help appreciated!

Setup: Ubuntu VM on Proxmox with NVIDIA RTX 4000 ADA, 32GB RAM and Intel Core Ultra 9 285k. PC Display (dummy plug) and Moonlight set to 2K resolution. 10Gbps wired connection on host and 1gbps wired connection on client.

Issues (while playing Indiana Jones and The Great Circle):

1. When I pick up an item with accompanying text, I go down to a few fps while the item is being picked up, then immediately back to around 60-90fps when the item is in hand.

2. In heavy action scenes, the screen freezes for about 2 seconds, sound continues, then picks up again at 60-90fps but I also get a low bitrate message. This happens maybe 3 times in an hour long gaming session.

Generally the performance is excellent and the two issues seem like settings tweaks rather than hardware or software limitations, but I’m not sure which settings to adjust. Grateful for any insight.

I haven’t contacted support in about a year. Historically they have been excellent. They really know their stuff and seem genuinely interested in the product and engaged with their work.

I contacted support a few times over the past two days, and both times the agents I got were pleasant and tried to help, but clearly didn’t know much about the product. They were just googling or using AI the whole time (one of them even said, “let me just google it”), which I had already tried before calling and couldn’t get an answer.

They also didn’t know simple parts of the product - I asked about the terminal block on the RA2 Repeater, and they had to put me on hold to check with their colleagues on what this is.

At least Lutron hasn’t gone with overseas support, and the agents are still pleasant. Perhaps I just got a trainee both times?

The bundled 18/2 22/2 cable is hard to find in my area for a decent price (min about CAD$70).

I just need a short run (25ft) and I’m wondering if I can use Ethernet instead?

I know the gauge is wrong, but will it work? It’s just data anyway right? Not sure why such a heavy gauge is required by the specs. I have the terminal blocks so connection shouldn’t be an issue.

Is Virtual Here still the best way to get rumble working on Android TV?

Any way to get gyro?

Any controllers that work out of the box with rumble and/or gyro on Android TV?

I'm trying to add ComfyUI for image generation, and I keep getting Error 1 no matter what I do. It doesn't give me any further info. What does Error 1 refer to?

I had my G6 Pro Entry in Protect for a few weeks, and just added a Door Hub Mini to get the additional Access Features. Access is on my UDMP SE, and Protect is on my NVR. I adopted the Door Hub Mini in Access and plugged the G6 Pro Entry into the first port on the Door Hub Mini.

I can't see the G6 Pro Entry in Access. How do I access the additional features in Access?

I also lost the Greeting (Image) option in Protect Web UI when I added it to the Door Hub Mini, but I still have the option in the Protect iOS app.

EDIT - Fixed. I had to adopt it with the NVR instead of the UNVR. I'm still missing the Greeting option though.
